A lot of pet owners use flax seed oil, coconut oil, and other plant-based oils as a supplement for their pets because they think they are supplying omega 3 fatty acids. Actually, plant-based oils are rich in omega 6 fatty acids which need to be converted to omega 3s by the body. Animals are not good at making the conversion and only 10-20% of the omega 6s are actually converted. In order to get the full benefit of omega 3s, the oil must come from a marine source. So fish oil and kelp are your options for omega 3s. Omega 3s provide anti-inflammatory effects for joint, eye, skin, and heart health. Make sure the fish oils you buy contain vitamin E as well. #kelpforpets #omega3 #fishoilforpets
